X-files 6.5 "Dreamland II" No, my first name's not baby, it's Dana--Miss Scully if you're nasty!!

Thank you, Janet Jackson.

Well, the previews for next week looked amusing, which isn't a complaint
(yet :D) because Scully looked scared, and if SCULLY is scared, i am
going to assume I will be scared too. Didn't scully rock this episode? I love
it when Scully goes all Jane Wayne. I liked the little history of mulder
through the eyes of Morris (as opposed to the eyes of Laura mars). I
liked the idea of :"if someone stepped into YOUR life, could they do more with
it? I mean, it's a grass is always greener thing too. WE should all
count our blessings---if someone assumed your identity, I bet they'd think:
Hey, this person rocks! Why don't they think so? Who's this Christine
person, her e-mails are hilarious :D!!! AS in "Small Potaotoes" a guy steps
into Mulders body and says, why isn't this guy getting more action? Of
course, there was that vampire in LA, but...It's interesting, that idea that
someone who looks like that would HAVE to use it to get oodles of sex,
but that's what's great about Mulder and Scully, they don't "get" that they
are so attractive. They're both nerds. Like in Small Potaotes when THAT
fake Mulder asked her if she had any big plans for the weekend, and she says,
since it's the weekend, she's excited about having time to work on an
article she's doing for some criminology journal. ANd he's like "Geek."
Anyway, i loved how Scully's true test is that fake Mulder acts like
she could actually get him to listen to her, and when he agrees with her,
she knows something wicked this way comes. Well, maybe not so much
wickedas....lame. His attempts at cameraderie and concern on her behalf are so
painful. Gillian is so great at registering how tramatic it is for her
to see a lesser soul in Mulder's body (and what a body it is hubba, hubba.)
Mulder's indian/pilot cellmate's code name is "Maverick" ala Tom Cruise
in "Top Gun." Tom Cruise was once married to Mimi Rogers, who plays dirty
Diana, Mulder's ex-squeeze. This puts me in mind of something Vickie
said to me in regards to this character :"Tom Cruise got rid of her, why
can't we?" She also critiqued the cruise (sense the pattern here??) ship
episode by complaining that Skinner and Cancer man weren't menacing
enough, they were like "Wonder Woman Nazi's," which is funny to me on sooo many
levels. It's also a cool name for a rock band...

Anyway, I liked how, just as Scully is tipped off by "mulder's"
cowardice, Morris's pal gets suspicious when "Morris" starts getting clever and
brave. "Baby me and you'll be peeing through a catheder." She means it!
Remember that commercial with that guy sexually harrasing tha woman and
she gets all small and then she gets big again and says "That's sexual
harrasment, and I DON'T have to take it."? They should show that scene
where he swats her butt and then cut to her with the gun saying the above
Scullyism. Awww Yeah, Scully's in the HOUSE!!
Loved that Lil Aley Inn. I didn't anticipate the Air Force guy being
Mulder's source, and Loved him asking MULDER for the truth, that was
great. The stuff in the bar with everyone avoiding someone for different resons
was amusing, as was the domestic scene with the lone gunmen, and didn't
you love how everyone just does what Scully says? She says jump, the men ask
How High. Loved how even they laughed at Scully's story.
the scene with Mulder and Scully as they contemplate their lives all
screwy and apart from one another was affecting, I think they did a nice job
showing how Scully is able to recognize Mulder's soul, because theirs is
a spiritual bond, not a physical one. gillian again was great, playing the
weirdess, unable to look at either man for very long because it was too
painful. Scully's attempt to lighten the mood "I'd kiss you if you
weren't so damned ugly," is VERY reminiscent of Mulder's "If there's iced tea in
that bag? Could be love." from season one's Tooms. (Damn the root beer,
DAMMIT!!!) The idea of going through the FBI without his support is
unfathomable to her. For all his shortcomings, Morris was GREAT at
sharing all the memories that made his wife realize who he was--the part Mulder
was so bad at last week. Mulder got major Christine points off his look of
absolute disgust when Morris patted Scully's butt--the idea of ANYONE
demeaning or degrading his beloved Scully so clearly abhorant to him.
Loved the warmth in Scully's voice as she told him they got away with the
trip to Nevada (on a bureau phone?) So...does this mean Mulder has the
waterbed??? :D

Hope you all have great weeks! Christine
